SURAT: The Income Tax department has unearthed Rs 8.10 crore worth of unaccounted income from two city-based real estate groups located in Majura Gate and Kamrej areas of the city on Tuesday.

Official sources said that the Range-5 of the I-T department had conducted survey operation on the realtor groups on Monday. The offices, project sites and residences of the builders were surveyed by the I-T sleuths. The official recovered documents related to disproportionate investment in the properties, cash and jewellery from the residences and offices of the builders.

The survey was conducted after the department received a tip off regarding the massive evasion of tax by the realtors. I-T officials said that both the realtors have declared Rs 8.1 crore of unaccounted income. Scrutiny of documents recovered is still going on.
